Description says it all.
For context I self host a Jellyfin server on windows, and I just upgraded my server PC to an Intel Arc A310 from an Nvidia GTX 1050 2GB.
When I say I'm blown away, I mean truly blown away. I don't have any numbers from the GTX 1050 because I actually never bothered to check.
But it would chug and drop frames on a single 4K HDR transcode. It couldn't even do 1!
But with the Arc A310, when transcoding from 4K HEVC HDR 10 bit, to 4K H264 SDR 8 bit, Jellyfin is reporting a WHOPPING 150+ FPS for transcoding!
I opened 2 videos at once of the same format, and it sailed through it. With these FPS numbers, I could probably do 5 or more at once? I'm beyond impressed.
Plus, once AV1 encoding is fully supported, I'll be ready from day 1!
Here's a screenshot from the transcoding info:

And yes I did enable resizable BAR in the BIOS. I didn't bother checking performance pre-ReBAR.
For $95 I'm so happy. I can share my media with family and friends and not worry about their experience anymore.
If anyone is wondering the specific $95 card I got, I purchased the "ASRock Low Profile Intel ARC A310 LP 4G" It comes with a full size bracket though.
